Tomb of the First Pythia

The Tomb of the First Pythia was the resting place of Phemonoe, the first Pythia (Oracle of Delphi). It was located to the northwest of Delphi in Phokis, Greece, and it was full of treasures, golden coins, statues, and artwork. By the mid-5th century BC, it had ironically become infested with python snakes. In 431 BC, the Spartan mercenary Kassandra entered the tomb and looted many of the golden coins, as well as the legendary "Belt of Ares". She also deciphered an ancient stele within the depths of the tomb.
